Hello All,Especially UE specialists... how often can a person using their Medicare benefits receive a new AE prosthesis? 

This fella received a "70 thousand dollar dust collector"--- myo AE  in 2011.  Tried to return it within the 1st 90 days d/t ill fitting/painful socket & his inability to get the myo to work.   He was told each time he tried to return it: "work with for a while, you'll get it!"  Meanwhile the company made him a "free" conventional arm to use for his farm work!  Then magically the 90 day warranty period was up!   Yep, gotta love corporate prosthetics!
I digress.  The last conventional arm was billed & covered in the early 90's, so I'm thinking he's good to go for a conventional arm (?).  Yes, he is still farming, wears his conventional arm all day everyday, it is worn out & he's lost enough muscle mass so that the socket fit is horrendous.As always,Thank you for the inputRick Rick Milen, CPO, LPO, PTA
